Praise and thanks!

We are care-giving for my hubby's brother and occasionally he has seizures. Sometimes 911 has to be called. The latest one had him staying a couple days in the hospital.
Only two of these frightening incidences have happened while he was actually staying at our house, but today makes number three.
I was on the tread mill with my iPod and glanced over and saw him going down in the doorway! I screamed and Andrew and I ran over to him. He was incoherent and shaking and we were so thankful to find that Joy 'just happened' to already be standing behind him was guiding him into a near by chair!!! (whoo-hoo! Isn't God good?!) 
I don't know why it took me so long to remember to pray, but when we did, God answered! The seizure ended after the 'Amen' and all of a sudden he smiled! What a relief! Best smile ever!!!!
So thankful for our God 'who hears us when we call.' The words to this song, keep coming to mind:

You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the light

Whom shall I fear

You crush the enemy
Underneath my feet
You are my sword and shield
Though troubles linger still

Whom shall I fear

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

My strength is in Your name
For You alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the whole world in Your hands
I'm holding on to Your promises

You are faithful
You are faithful

And nothing formed against me shall stand
You hold the hold world in your hands
I'm hold on to your promises

You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of angel armies
Is always by my side

The God of angel armies
Is always by my side
